Community Centered Policing and Relationship Based Policing have been one of the major reasons for my SRPD Team’s success. My definition and expectation of my SRPD has always been….. “Knowing the Community who you Serve.” The roots of Policing (including Sir Robert Peel’s Principles of Policing dating back to 1829) is the Connection between the Police and the Community. The best and most long lasting Relationships are based on Trust, this absolutely essential foundation has created for us at the SRPD: Transparent Communications, Accountability, Training and High Performance Standards, Accreditation, Positive Interactions, Developing Partnerships, High Morale of my SRPD Team (in 8 years we have had only 5 Police Officers leave the SRPD to work at another PD, 4 of the 5 left to join a brand new nearby Town that started their own Police Department) and delivering Continuous Measurable and Sustainable Results.
